Vince’s SS23 Collection Embodies The Elegance Of Leisurely Moments
The beauty of quiet pursuits is reflected in the brand’s new offering of relaxed sets and separates that deliver easy refinement
The poetic solitude of Vince’s new collection is best depicted in Danielle McKinney’s contemporary paintings, which portray women in deep, reflective moments. Her protagonist holds an open book while relaxing on a bed, or dances freely in her home wearing a vivid-yellow dress. There is a parallel between the quiet pleasures in McKinney’s work and Néstor Almendros’ 1967 film La Collectionneuse that reflects the leisurely world of Vince for SS23. In Almendros’ film, the subtlety of pouring coffee on a warm, breezy morning is filled with romance, while the ease of a seaside walk is punctuated by gently lapping waves. Vince’s new collection is shaped by a sense of easy refinement that is reflected in the brand’s relaxed pieces. A vibrant palette of oceanic blues, citrus-colored stripes and rich emerald hues is inspired by the serenity of nature and feeling connected to our inner world.
“For spring 2023, we’ve colored our collection in a soothing palette of corals and melons, roses and sweet grass, morning dew and evening mist – each in materials that invite complete sensorial attention. Hours moving across an open ocean are embodied in dip-dyed blues that sway in bands on our fluid silk blouse,” Vince told PORTER. “Each piece in the collection, and every high-octane shade it comes in, is designed to be easily tossed on with any other item in the range, or pieces in your closet, for an inspired statement that doesn’t require a second thought – whether you’re in the office or by the sea.”

Vince’s dip-dyed matching set is a defining pairing from the collection, mirroring the fluidity and ease of the brand’s new season. Cut from luxe silk that’s finished in a tranquil blue-gradient print, the loose-fit shirt and coordinating skirt make the ideal office-to-off-duty outfit in the warmer months. Just pair with black loafers, a blazer and silver jewelry for an important meeting, or strappy heels and statement earrings if you’re dressing up for an after-dark event.
On those transitional spring days that are notoriously tough to dress for, Vince’s cozy cardigan is guaranteed to keep you warm. Crafted from ultra-soft, 100 percent cashmere, the cardigan is easy to dress up or down – whether pairing with classic jeans and boots or chic wide-leg pants in a matching green hue. The slightly cropped fit is great for playing with proportions: wear it with a high-waisted bottom to lengthen the silhouette. And when the season gets warmer, reach for the brand’s striped poplin shirt, which is perfect for breezy summer days. Cut from a lightweight lyocell blend in an easy pullover design, slip yours over a bright swimsuit before heading out for a morning swim, and finish the look with raffia sandals, a canvas tote and oversized sunglasses. For a low-key look with polish, style the crisp shirt with the brand’s high-waisted pants and you’re set for lunch alfresco, or a casual day in the office.
